It's likely to be a quiet window. It's difficult to improve on what we have done this season.

I'd like Gomez to go a few days without injury and establish himself next to Van Dijk.

Adam Lewis to come in for Robertson in the cups.

I think Grujic deserves a place in this team. If he's loaned out again I can't see him wanting to come back.

Harry Wilson should get at least 15 starts in the league or cups. He's a quality player. Most likely be sold to a promoted team.

Rhian Brewster is supposedly due some game time this season. He still looks very lightweight to me.

What happened to been woodburn?

Wilson seems to me the closest to come through, I am unsure on Brewster because I have never seen him play and secondly he just came back from a serious injury. I have no doubt about Gomez, he is a quality defender. As for the others, I am unsure, Woodburn is still really inexperienced and I feel like it's too big of a step for him and as for Grujic, he didn't really impress me when he played and looked average.

Agree regarding Woodburn, same as you, i haven't watched Brewster but we'll find out in the pre-season. Wilson looks the most ready but we already have 2 players in his position, ie, left footed playing on the right, Salah and Shaq. As Klopp doesn't seem too fond of Shaq who seldom plays, maybe we should sell him and bring Wilson back, but, I don't know how Klopp rates him. That would allow to get some funds for another position as well

I really rate both Wilson and Shaqiri. Either could easily be sold for £25m. I think both will be kept although Wilson may go out on loan especially if Derby go up and Lampard stays there as manager. I am sure they would be asking for another loan period. If not perhaps a loan out to another PL club where he will get playing time.

Woodburn is an enigma. Couldn't get a game hardly at Sheff Utd and they got promoted. Always looked lightweight to me whenever I have seen him play. Maybe we can work some magic in the market or place him a bit better on loan.

Not seen Brewster but Klopp likes him.

I have not seen enough of Grujic and it is always hard to judge some of these squad players when they are playing with other second stringers in cup ties against weakened teams. The manager at Hertha Berlin has been really impressed with him and he helped Cardiff get promotion the season before. So maybe another who needs to go on loan to a PL team to show his worth. Somewhere like Brighton or Watford. Better still Norwich as they like to play good football.

Kent is wanted again by Gerrard for Rangers and won Scottish PFA young player of the year. Probably go there again but if a big bid comes in we will sell. Depends on his contract with us I guess.

Ejaria done well at Reading and Rangers last season but is 21 now and will probably be sold.

We caught a couple of difficult draws in the cups last season. Chelsea at home and Wolves away. Hard to put all of the second string out and hope to get a result whilst maintaining league form. City got Oxford and Fulham in the League Cup and bang they were in the quarter finals v Leicester and got Burton in the semi finals and beat Chelsea on pens in the final. They played Rotherham, Burnley, Newport and Swansea in the FA Cup and had a charmed life with no VAR at Swansea on the way to an incredible treble. Talk about lucky, but of course the records show 3 trophies.

We need these cup draws to be a bit kinder for the ones we keep and if we can get a couple out on loan in the PL maybe they can derail some of our main rivals.
